Abstract

A burner system in which an ignitable mixture is formed from vaporized liquid fuel and preheated air which is heated by recuperative heat exchange with a furnace exhaust gas from the combustion chamber in which the mixture burns. According to the invention, a feed line for the fuel opens into a closed chamber provided with porous walls permeable to the fuel and with a flow passage traversed by the preheated air, the wall of this flow passage in turn serving for indirect heat exchange of the air by the combustion gases of the furnace.
